             tree \
             ack \
             pyenv \
             watch \
             neovim # add alias alias vim='nvim'

    My favorite password manager:

    brew cask install keepassx

    Good to practice typing from time to time:

  4. Solid editor, many ideas in atom or vs-code are directly borrowed from sublime:

    brew install sublime-text --cask

  5. A simple timer for pomodoro:

Development Tools

  1. IDE / Coding Tools:

    brew cask install visual-studio-code \
                  sourcetree # best GUI for git

    Hub for working with github:

    brew install hub

    Db:

# mongo CLI
brew tap mongodb/brew
brew install mongodb-community@3.6

  2. Jetbrains:

    brew cask install intellij-idea

  3. Kubernetes:

             k3d \

  5. Gopass - sharing secrets with git and gpg:

    Works really well with scripts for setting your infrastructure.

  6. Virtualbox with vagrant and packer:

    brew cask install virtualbox \
                  vagrant \
                  packer

  7. Machine Learning:

Notes

So far zim-wiki works for me the best.

brew install python@3 \
             gtk-mac-integration \
             pygobject3 \
             adwaita-icon-theme # for icons in the zim-wiki UI

brew install zim

and create in Automator - Application that runs a shell script:

zim

Now, let's install zim-wiki plugins: Journal and TODO.

Apps for Docs, Diagrams, etc

  1. Latex - writings:

    brew cask install mactex

  2. High Q diagrams:
